Car Hire Detroit - Traffic Rules in the USA

Let the car rental company at Detroit Airport explain to you the so-called "4Way Stop" and the local speed limits, otherwise the US regulations are similar to those in Germany.

• Avoid alcohol in the car at all costs.
• Buckle up on all vehicle seats.
• Telephoning in the car only with speakerphone.
• Do not drive too slowly.
• Overtaking is allowed on both sides.

Detroit as starting point of a round trip with the Rental Car

You want to see cheap more of the United States and maybe go to Florida or California? Then choose the one-way option when renting, with which you only have to specify the airport of your arrival and return home. It is also important to return the vehicle at the same car rental company as you have been given.

Rent a Car with exclusive insurance in Detroit

Your rental car remains as cheap as booked if you insure it with comprehensive insurance without excess. In the event of an accident, this policy covers the entire loss, while in the case of an insurance policy with a deductible, you will be involved in the settlement.

Every driver must be insured

Rental car insurance provides you, the tenant, with the agreed protection. This only includes an additional driver if he is integrated into the contract by the car rental company at the airport. We recommend this formality to be completed in a few minutes. If an unregistered driver causes an accident, you will be liable for the total loss, because the insurance automatically expires.

Why the credit card is indispensable for a Rental Car in Detroit

Every car rental company will give you a rental car only on bail . This amount is blocked by the lessor on the credit card when the vehicle is handed over and released again after successful return of the car. No car rental company will accept the amount in cash or by bank transfer
